Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing
The professional registered nurse faces increasing challenges in
the ever-expanding field of nursing. PUC has responded by designing
a bachelor of science degree in nursing (BSN) program to accommodate
the working professional. The purpose of this degree completion
program is to provide necessary skills for expanded nursing practice,
opportunities for professional advancement, and preparation for
graduate school.
The classroom hours, concentrated into core weeks, allow for continuing
work responsibilities and encourage independent learning. The
one-year plan includes three academic quarters of full-time nursing
courses; the two-year plan allows for a reduced course load. The
reduced plan is the preferred route for students with a heavy work
schedule or who have not yet met their general education (GE) requirements.
There are two classroom locations in northern California:
- PUC campus, Angwin – for full-time and half-time students
- North bay program at Vacaville – for half-time students
only
The BSN students plan their own clinical schedules and participate
in their mentor selection, thereby creating clinical experiences
that enhance their professional goals. Clinical sites may
be arranged with local hospitals and agencies in the students’ home
town.
The admission criteria for acceptance into the BSN program include:
- ADN with current RN licensure
- Chemistry 101 (co-requisite)
- Completion of GE for full-time status
